Georgia’s Quinn Earns SEC Freshman of the Week Honors
February 01, 2023 | Men's Tennis
ATHENS, Ga. – University of Georgia men's tennis redshirt freshman Ethan Quinn has earned Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week honors, the league office announced on Wednesday.
One of two freshmen in the SEC with wins on court one in both singles and doubles, Quinn went undefeated during the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Kickoff Weekend, notching highly ranked wins in both singles and doubles without dropping a set to earn key victories for the 13th-ranked Bulldogs. The Fresno, Calif. is the first Georgia player to earn the honors since Tyler Zink did so on Feb. 5, 2020.
"We expect great things from Ethan, and this past weekend was no exception," said head coach Manny Diaz. "He's doing a phenomenal job now falling into a rhythm and playing a lot better than earlier in the semester. I think he needed a few matches under his belt, and now that he has, Ethan is showing great confidence and assertiveness on the court. We're really proud of him."
Quinn clinched the doubles point for Georgia in the Bulldogs' first match of the weekend against LSU on Sunday, Jan. 29. The redshirt freshman picked up his first doubles win of the dual match season with partner Trent Bryde, winning the match against No. 16 Stefan Latinovic and Nick Watson off an ace in the tiebreaker by a 7-6(3) result. This marked the third ranked win for No. 19 Bryde and Quinn.
During singles competition against No. 25 Natan Rodrigues, top-ranked Quinn picked up a big win on court one by a 6-4, 7-5 score, putting the contest against No. 22 Louisville in the ITA Kickoff Finals at match point. He improved to 11-4 on the year with a 9-3 mark against ranked opponents with the win.
Quinn would go unfinished in doubles against Louisville's No. 9 Rodrigues and Fabien Salle as well as in singles against LSU's No. 18 Ronnie Hohmann but led in both matches at the time the match was clinched (6-5 in doubles, 7-6(5), 5-4 in singles).
The Bulldogs' next two matches will come this weekend at the United State Tennis Association National Campus in Orlando, Fla., against a pair of Pac-12 foes. Georgia will take on No. 16 Stanford on Saturday, Feb. 4 at 2 p.m. ET, and against No. 7 Southern California the following day on Sunday at 11 a.m.
